Revered in the ancient earth religions, the hare has been forgotten by the modern world, relegated to children’s faerie tales and cartoons. The hare is hunted with hounds,coursed by greyhounds, and in ‘as above-so below’ she is hunted by Orion the hunter and his demonic dogs of Sirius.

Gone are the days when the Hare Goddess Unnut ruled over the temples of Dendera in Egypt, and the Alkonquin Indians of North America turned their faces to the east and prayed to the Great Hare who began the world: Michabo Ovisaketchak. Seldom these days do the male dancers to the sun wear wristlets made of hare skin, symbol of the feminine moon and the act of procreation…. for with the coming of the invaders…this great understanding of polarity has been forgotten.

Lost now is Queen Boudicca of the Iceni and her hares of peace and Freya of the North with her hare companions. No more does the Hare in the moon stir the pot of immortality in China and Africa, and it is long been forgotten that in India, the Hindu call the hare in the moon Sasanka. Phonetically, sa is an earth frequency in sound sa-sa is earth…earth and staccato nka is a fire principle. Fire in the womb of Earth

The Hare as a Sexual symbol.

The Hare is a sexual symbol. She is the most fecund of creatures and can have three litters of leveretts a year and, is one of the very few mammals that can be pregnant with one litter and conceive again. This is known as superfoetation, defined as ovulation, fertilisation and implantation of a second set of eggs during pregnancy.[Rollhauser, 1949]

This probably explains why the Egyptian hieroglyphic for the verb to be: is a hare. The hare symbolises the sexual act, and the moon governs menstruation and the production of eggs. In the book The Lady of the Hare by John Layard there is a quotation from C.G.Jung about the hare as an archetype.

C.G. Jung, in his Integration of the personality, London, 1940, has this to say about the hare.

The most efficacious archetype of all, however, and of the greatest import perhaps for the very reason that archetypes have their strongest effect when not watered down by vain repetition, was one that is not recognised as a symbol at all by official Christendom, namely the hare. And since this archetype has not as far as I know, yet been taken note of by psychologists, I propose now to trace its history in such measure as is possible from available sources.

The Easter Bunny

Easter falls after the full moon at the spring equinox and in the ancient world the goddess Eostre presided over the four day period. It is from the name of the Hare goddess, Eostre/Eostra/Eostara that we get the words oestrogen and oestrus. Some say there’s a man in the moon, but the ancients knew that the legs of the man are the ears of the hare that forever stirs the pot of immortality[sex]. Spring is the celebration of the sexual act[spring, leap, jump]. The hare is the essence of fertility and at Easter, the ‘Easter Bunny’ comes bearing the egg of life.

The hare is the symbol of the sacred feminine, the dawn, the east, the air, the leaping[semen]hare.This mystical and magical creature has been reduced to an Easter Bunny, a chocolate egg, and a creature that is hunted and ripped apart…. just for fun.

The God Pan

Her consort is the horned god of the forest, the great god Pan and it is interesting to note that in the myth of ancient days, Pan was born in a hare skin,symbolic of the innocent sexual act that is Nature. Pan is the Sacred Masculine, and the Hare the Sacred Feminine of the ancient world.These two great polarities of nature have been belittled or forgotten by modern man. Pan has been reduced to a drunken sex maniac, and the hare is hunted to the death, not only in the fields of earth by gun or dog, but also in the heavens.

Ah, but the sun was originally female, wasn’t she? Until Odin took Her place and she was relegated to the tame goddess of marriage, her name, Frigga, a mere remembrance of her creative power. Odin was never a trustworthy deity for the macho, psychopathic warrior going a-viking, unlike the much more dependable Thor who would never wear his wife’s knickers. He was a master of Galdr, the energy power of the skald; but more frightening for the male shaman was his command of Seidr, the female magick (tantric kundalini power!) taught to him by Freyr/Frigga, a combination of Earth/Sun – the Green and the Gold.

The hare was replaced by the rabbit, brought by the overly male Romans, who had lost their connection and followed the emasculated Mithras. Previously, knowing their plight, they had sent a delegation to Delphi to reconnect with the Goddess. Her humour wicked in the extreme, the Pythoness instructed them to admit Kybele to their pantheon. They did so, only to find their masculinity destroyed from within.

I write about Cybele/ Kybele in my book The key made of Air.”His smile faded and his face grew serious again.”Emma, your house is built upon a structure that predates Roman times. Underneath the hidden room is a vault, an ancient temple consecrated to the fertility goddess Agdistis. The blasphemous rituals practiced by her priests opened the forbidden doorway to damnation. Theirs was, and is, a sexual cult of rape, sodomy and bloody sacrifice, and where these abominations are practiced, you will find incubi and succubi waiting in the shadows.”

It was the castration of Agdistis the hermaphrodite earth goddess that created the Cult of Cybele…sexual mutilation. The story of Agdistis is very interesting if you can read between the lines. It tells you about the splitting of the sexes.
As for the Master…Panikos. HE has many levels. HE is awesomely beautiful on one polarity and terrible on the other. Symbolically HE is the horned rut and HIS consort in the ancient days was a hare.
Aliester Crowley tried to raise Pan in Paris. The ritual killed his co magician and destroyed Crowley’s mind. Its all about resonance.
The broken snare and you’ll find me there…Wind in the Willows…

This is a tangled web. It was Zeus who split the sexes. He is an Olympian. That makes a link with Orion, I think. The Committee of 300 call themselves the Olympians. One thread weaves in the Tavistock Institute who instituted rock music based on Dionysian principles, the god who emasculated Agdistis. Another thread reaches back to both Athens and Sparta. Both societies practised homosexual tantric mysteries which connects Crowley and weaves in Ancient Egypt, and the mysteries of Horus and Set. We are in the Aion of Horus. Horus is the gold sun, Set the black sun (or indigo/purple). Purple, as well as being a tone of the Presence of the Mother, is also the colour of Asmodeus/Ialdabaoth who can be a symbol of the sun of false science – a lions head upon a serpents body – the sun being considered 25% helium and 75% hydrogen. The sun is the demiurge, crudely known as satan, which brings us back to Panikos/Baphomet. Whichever way you go you end up back in the centre where the minotaur must be faced. Orion faces Taurus. The exclusively male rites crack open and distort the muladhara centre. Uranium is linked to Uranus (crude pun intended) who was castrated by Kronos. The female energy has to be stolen through rape, hence fracking. Also Cern, or Cernunnos, or Lucifer/Siva, the Lord of the Dance. Time to Stop! 🙂

I thought you’d like to investigate the Agdistis mythos, and it is a tangled web indeed. I have no doubt that beings from Orion are part of the conspiracy to destroy the divine feminine in mankind. Just look at the stars…its all right there. Check out Manly P.Halls video; The esoteric sun and planets. What he has to say about the moon is wild….and his understanding brings us back to mortality and the sacrificial hare.
Again with the master Panikos, it all depends on your resonance. He is not satan, the christian church have taken him as a model for the devil. He is the sacred masculine in nature and his consort is a hare.I hold them both within my heart.

Ach, satan means adversary (a Levite temple law court term) just like lucifer means light bringer. I try not to get embroiled in the internicine warfare that goes on between different sections of humanity. I remember Pan being one of the founding spirits of Findhorn (not through experience, just research).
You go into the deeper aspects of Odin, and you are standing before Pan. A decade ago I visited Cyprus in order to connect with Aphrodite. I made friends with a restaurant owner in Protoras. He was proud to tell me his name was Panikos.
In Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, there is a shop that, among other things, hosts the artistic creations of a very talented lady. Pride of place is a 6ft water colour of Boudicca and her Hare.
Ah, found it!

I listened to Manly P Hall. Very informative. The moon, yes, often called a ship of souls by many so called primitive cultures. But more interesting his views on the threefold sun and its connection with our inner suns. The physical, then, linked to the svadisthana chakra is Sorath as Steiner might have termed him. That would be the Satan, the adversary. The psychic I see linked to sahasrara as that would be Steiner’s Christ. I say that because the anahata, the Heart, is the true inner sun, the violet/indigo of the Mother Presence who births new souls and all life. Much to work and play with – thank you.

I suspect its our lunar antibody’ as he calls it that blocks our memory. In Heartstar Page 46, we learn that the moon has stolen Emma’s cosmic memory. Trevelyan warns her to stay out of moonlight.
“keep away from the moon. Its light spies for the enemy,” Trevelyan said. “Know that at one time there was no moon. The enemy had not yet brought it into being to trouble the world of men.”

Mick

Yeah I know about the moon, not meaning to sound arrogant. I’ve had experiences with that sphere since I was five years old. It was the sun I needed to understand more, and you have helped strongly with that. I will buy your book Tuesday when my dole comes through. It may very well help with memory nudges. I read the excerpt on Amazon and liked the writing style. It flows easy and the characters feel natural.

Moon blood and a lingam of Shiva.
A lingam of shiva is a sculpture consisting of a lengthened egg shaped lingam atop an oval plate with a handle, beneath which there is an elliptical bowl resting on a circular base. The oval plate is the yoni.
Turn this upside down and the oval plate is the flat earth, the bowl is the dome of the firmament. In Hindu lore through the handle flows Shakti, divine energy.
I was thinking about the moon and the Earth goddess, and then of women in general. This led to the effects of the moon on tides and blood, and thence to menstrual blood and its importance in ritual, and to people like Crowley and the Babylonian/Levite priests. Its sacredeness, and how it is considered divine energy.
Lana Cantrell believes women did not menstruate as they do now, but had complete control over their ovulation. If the female form is a mirror of Earth’s spiritual form and the moon is recent and controls the flow of blood, and this was considered a primal sin by the hypocritical catholic church, then this is a continual form of blood sacrifice and energy extraction controlled by a male dominated moon. Sin being the Sumerian moon god.
On a bigger scale the Shiva lingam is a depiction of the energy extraction machine of which the bound Earth is the centre. She can be considered the heart of the machine, her ‘blood’ (as in the Srinmo myth) syphoned to power it as oil is extracted from her physical body to power our machines.
Just a thought.
